Trump denies adult film performer's assault allegations: 'Oh, I'm sure she's never been grabbed before'
In an interview Monday with WGIR radio's New Hampshire Today, Donald Trump discounted the latest accusation of sexual assault by pointing out that the woman who came forward is a "porn star." "You know, this one that came out recently, [she said], 'He grabbed me and he grabbed me on the arm,'" Trump said, referring to adult film performer Jessica Drake's claim that Trump grabbed her and kissed her without permission over a decade ago. Trump continued: "Oh, I'm sure she's never been grabbed before."
Drake is the 11th woman to accuse Trump of sexual harassment. At a press conference Saturday, she said Trump also offered her money and a plane ride in exchange for sex. Trump has adamantly denied her claims, as well as those of the other 10 women. "These stories are stories that are made up, these are total fiction," Trump said Monday. "You'll find out that, in the years to come, these women that stood up, it was all fiction. They were made up. I don't know these women, it's not my thing to do what they say."
